Let's empty out those overflowing scrap bins to make room for some new loot!

The "rules":1. You are not allowed to buy fabric for this challenge.2. Make quilts using only scraps from your scrap bin. What you call a "scrap" is completely up to you. As we saw from yesterday's comments, opinions vary widely on this topic.3. Do consider the difference between "scrap" and "stash" when choosing fabric.4. There are no other rules.

If you'd like to join in, leave a comment on this post and I'll create a list of all your blogs so we can have a look at each other's projects.

Diabolical: it's like reverse psychology. You CAN'T buy new fabric, so you WANT to, and you use up scraps so you don't even feel guilty when you go shopping! LOL. I'm totally in :P. Although I was kind of going to use up my Christmas fabric scraps for your flying geese BOM.

Can I join in on the fun also?? I won't be able to actually start making anything until the basement is completed (sewage back-up) but I have been going through my fabrics to sort, divest, and organize. . . and I have an overflowing box of scraps that I plan on attacking first once my sewing room is back.

I'm in. Although my quilts are usually scrappy this year my goal is to use up scraps from the scrappy quilts. I've always bought another fabric to set the blocks or do the borders so this will be an additional challenge. Buy nothing!
